There is a revolution brewing. Soon, the United States will overthrow its head of state and his government, and sack a sizable chunk of the national legislature. It's on the calendar: November 4th.
Tomorrow, an obscure little chunk of the country known as Rhode Island will cast its votes in the Primary elections, helping select the candidate from each party who will be on the ballot in November. (There are a few other states having primaries tomorrow too). I will vote. Because if there's anything the last seven years have taught me, it's that choosing a President is not only a privilege and a right, but an awesome responsibility.
I truly hope that in this year's election cycle, Americans will remember that the power and the glory are not in the Executive Branch, but in the people. But I know that whatever the outcome, the elections will be reasonably fair and come next January the revolution will complete itself without a shot fired. And *that* is really "the shot heard around the world."
